​People everywhere are now aware that some or the other form of exercise is good for health. Obviously, women too want to stay slim and healthy, specially after they are in their 30’s. However, there is still a lot of misconception among women about whether weight training should be done by them or not. It’s generally known that weight training causes men to build a lot of muscle and become huge and ripped. So it’s commonly thought that weight training by itself, will produce similar results in women. That is not the case. Let’s see why weight training is beneficial for women and won’t cause them to become muscular and bulky like men.

​Patients are putting their own heart health at risk by taking too long to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and not seeking immediate treatment, according to a study published in the journal of the American College of Cardiology, JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

​Door-to-balloon time is the time from when a heart attack patient arrives in the emergency room until percutaneous coronary intervention is performed to restore blood flow.

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is "a severe heart attack caused by a prolonged period of blocked blood supply that affects a large area of the heart," according to the American Heart Association.

American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines state that hospitals treating STEMI patients with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention should do so within 90 minutes or less of reaching the hospital.​

​Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. This is achieved by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver. It is transported in the blood for use by muscles. Approximately 95% of the human body’s total creatine is located in skeletal muscle.

​You’ve probably heard that heating food in plastic containers is dangerous. But what about food that’s meant to be cooked in the package, like frozen dinners or boil-in-the-bag rice? That must be safe, right?

The answer is complicated.

The concern stems from the fact that chemicals in some plastics—namely, bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates—leach from the containers into your food, says Laura Vandenberg, Ph.D., a professor of environmental health science at the University of Massachusetts—Amherst.

The most difficult part of exercising doesn’t seem to be the ability to start. More often than not, the hardest part is to continue. People often start working out with gusto and with a sense of purpose, but lose focus in a few days and either stop going to the gym, or just while their time away simply going through the motions, not really giving it their fullest effort. If you are someone who has experienced this, don’t worry. You are not the only one. This is very common and has logical reasoning behind it.
